10 Chancery Lane Gallery is proud to present FACES OF GAIA, featuring four women artists Zoë Marden, Christine Nguyen, Katrina Leigh Mendoza Raimann and Jessica Zoob.
Coinciding with the UN World Ocean’s Day June 8th, the exhibition brings together four women artists whose works suggest the many faces of Gaia, Earth Goddess of Greek mythology. and ancestral mother of all life. Each of the selected artists have practices linked closely to their experiences of nature and its rhythms, incorporating individual sensibilities to reflect the many faces of Gaia. The exhibition highlights Gaia as a complex intertwining of phenomena that as both maker and destroyer creates the harmony of life. Further explained in scientific circles, the Gaia hypothesis posits that Earth, and its biological systems, behave as a huge single entity. This entity has closely controlled self-regulatory negative feedback loops that keep the conditions on the planet within boundaries that are favorable to life. ‘The Faces of Gaia’ proposes the transformative nature of the Earth Goddess in all her strength to bring restorative balance to the whole.
The exhibition opens on June 8, UN World Ocean’s Day 2023, adding its voice to calls from around the world to protect the earth. Furthermore 10 Chancery Lane will continue its long term support of Oceanic Global, an NGO committed to protecting the Ocean, by donating a portion of the proceeds from the exhibition.
